Volvo Car USA is recalling approximately 11,469 vehicles across several electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models because they may experience a loss of brake function. The defect occurs in specific driving scenarios, such as coasting downhill while using "B" mode or the "One Pedal Drive" feature. To address this risk, Volvo will provide a free software update for the brake module, which can be performed over-the-air (OTA) or at an authorized dealership.
A loss of brake function while driving prevents the vehicle from stopping as expected, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
You have 2 options:
Safety advisory to cease use of specific driving modes.
